Is ex-Liverpool managing director lined up to replace Cortese at Saints?

THE man who oversaw the sale of Liverpool FC four years ago has been linked with replacing Nicola Cortese at Saints.

British-born Christian Purslow was managing director of the Anfield giants between June 2009 - a month before Markus Liebherr completed his takeover at St Mary’s - and October 2010.

Towards the end of his time on Merseyside, the former Harvard College student was instrumental in selling Liverpool - the club where he had a season ticket before he worked there - for around £300m to John W Henry’s Fenway Sports Group.

The nationals work 24 hours a day. The echo doesn't come on line until 7 each morning, so will therefore always be behind. Why would they report any positive Saints news.they are one of the most anti local papers there is. Even the News constantly support and back that lot down the road. The Echo is a disgrace when it comes to the Saints.

If this indeed happens I hope my memory serves me well that it was Damien Comolli and not Christian Purslow that authorised the crass overspend on signing Carroll, Henderson and Downing at Liverpool. I believe Rangers are interested in him as their CEO.

Purslow and Cortese may have known each other at CSFB as both were involved brokering finance deals for sporting businesses particularly football. Don't underestimate Katherinha Liebherr. She's one tough cookie and comes from a family with very strict criteria when it come to running businesses. I'm not surprised at her decision to take a more positive role with HER business and HER money. Her grandfather who founded the crane business philosophy was you don't spend money you haven't earned. Borrowing money was an anethma. Once the dust settles and we can see clearly I expect SFC to continue to progress.

Yep, and have been actually really very good at providing live feeds of the really big news events in recent times - ones they've been able to report on outside the ban. They provided a great live feed for Rickie's England debut and their service yesterday was excellent too. And, considering the background, they've been reasonably balanced in their reporting for the most part.

I think you will find, after careful reading over a few months, that the Echo ignores quite a bit of news; conveniently forgets how it reports much of the news it has reported when reviting it; has very little respect for those it reports on; less for its readers, particularly Saints’ supporters; little grasp of local geography and even less of its history. Let us not forget that their last attempt at Saints’ story (The Saints: 125 Year Pictorial History) boldly claims that Saints owe their origins “to a bunch of Northern workers”; and then proceeded to get the name of the Club wrong for the next decade. The opening page manages 14 errors and misconceptions in 12 paragraphs – which has to be a record in any history of anything. Surely? The authors then go on to caption around 30% of the photographs wrongly. Please don’t think I have got it in for the Echo, most of the competent editorial staff will tell you the same thing; and even Ian Murray acknowledged the errors in the Saints' picture book. He still flogged it to gulable readers though. .

Here's a novel idea DE. Stop writing and rehashing and having your field day like the rest of the media vultures who can't wait to bring Saints down , stop going over every possible scenario like Saints fans are stupid. Why not do what we all need and get an exclusive interview with Katharine and find out her intention for the fans! I bet you can't , and I would say she is looking to sell, as she would of done more by now to reassure the fans!! If NC was serving his notice since October as suggested, what has taken her so long to react to replacing NC. You see DE one fact is clear! What ever Katharine intentions are, she has not had her eye on the ball. If she did then she would of known that NC going would rock the club? She would of known that Saints fans are the most passionate and caring fans in the country. She would of known that this would be the wrong time for such a massive change in the middle of the season with so much promise and also middle of the transfer window! So far she has not handled things well, or may be she has been wrongly advised! But Katharine could at least done some proper PR work with some real answers rather than a small statement of business as usual! How it usual to lose the best football chairman in the country?

And on topic, if this guy is installed as CEO, he did a good job for Liverpool, seeing off a few bogus or bad offers from those that would have suckered in those from down the road, picking a buyer that wanted to return Liverpool to their former glory. And who had adequate money to support that ambition. So, if being sold is what our future entails, he seems like a safe pair of hands.

well, you start by making what is essentially a raw egg sandwich (stay with me). then, you know how you turn on your toastie machine and wait for it to warm up before putting your sandwich in? DONT! put the sandwich in before you turn it on and it cooks the egg beautifully as it warms up. take it out after the normal amount of time. Im so jealous of your egg-toastie virginity. enjoy

Regarding this man Christian Purslow it's a bit worrying if he's not at Liverpool now, why isn't he? Is he the man who identified Players to buy who could now be flops or is it the Manager of Liverpool FC at the time? I know who I'd blame if he's not got the knowledge but only sanctions, he would assume the Manager has made a perfect decision he wants a certain Player and Purslow would obviously trust the Managers judgement.

Why not do what we all need and get an exclusive interview with Katharine and find out her intention for the fans! I bet you can't , and I would say she is looking to sell, as she would of done more by now to reassure the fans!! If NC was serving his notice since October as suggested, what has taken her so long to react to replacing NC. You see DE one fact is clear! What ever Katharine intentions are, she has not had her eye on the ball. If she did then she would of known that NC going would rock the club? She would of known that Saints fans are the most passionate and caring fans in the country. She would of known that this would be the wrong time for such a massive change in the middle of the season with so much promise and also middle of the transfer window! So far she has not handled things well, or may be she has been wrongly advised! But Katharine could at least done some proper PR work with some real answers rather than a small statement of business as usual! How it usual to lose the best football chairman in the country?

I would say KL has not done that bad a job. If NC handed his notice back in November, and he's on a 3 month notice period, then he works his notice. You can't then say "actually I want you to work another 4 months" - it just doesn't work like that. You could argue that his contract should have had a piece about his completing a season before leaving but KL was never involved in that. KL has kept things low till NC's leaving and has quickly sought to reassure the fans and press that everything continues as is. It all could have been a whole lot worse

You assume a tonne of stuff .......with Poch staying and how things have played out, I suspect a summer sale orchestrated by NC would necessitate hin leaving to ensure, post sales, he still has exactly what he wants. His goals are clearly not aligned with the Leibherrs and with that clearly being the case, he can't stay as chief exec to negotiate sale. In my humble opinion, Poch stayed for 2 reasons, one confirmed the other my opinion based on events. 1. He started the project, by convincing last summer signings to join, he is an honourable guy and stayed for that, at least that's the explanation given for the change in his stand point from the end of last season, where e he hadn't don't deals and personally affected others lives. 2. NC is coming back, with the "right investor" to complete the vision. Either way, only time will tell and the heart and core remains so onwards and upwards!

Purslow and Cortese may have known each other at CSFB as both were involved brokering finance deals for sporting businesses particularly football. Don't underestimate Katherinha Liebherr. She's one tough cookie and comes from a family with very strict criteria when it come to running businesses. I'm not surprised at her decision to take a more positive role with HER business and HER money. Her grandfather who founded the crane business philosophy was you don't spend money you haven't earned. Borrowing money was an anethma. Once the dust settles and we can see clearly I expect SFC to continue to progress.

I agree. The Liebherr philosophy is one we're lucky to have at the top. Look at all the teams who are floating on a sea of debt with little or nothing to show for it, teams who have all most gone under because of staggering financial ineptitude by owners(look down the coast). Don't spend what you haven't earned? That’s a **** good way of going through life. They're going to pick a new MD based on that philosophy, a new MD who thinks that way too. And frankly Purslow sounds like he might be that kind of person, a football lover, a man with football business experience and an experienced financial expert. I say we could do A LOT WORSE than Purslow.

Liverpool the most successful English club in Europe and with Man U the most famous are still in their old ground and struggle financially and nowhere near winning a title since they were sold. While a much less famous and less successful club down the road in Mancsville owned by trillionaires and likely to get second title in 3 years. I think we could do much better if we are looking for a football club estate agent as a club chairman

I think I might have a ham and cheese toastie for my lunch. What's everyone else having?

ever tried an egg toastie?

I'm all ears. How does THIS bad boy work?

well, you start by making what is essentially a raw egg sandwich (stay with me). then, you know how you turn on your toastie machine and wait for it to warm up before putting your sandwich in? DONT! put the sandwich in before you turn it on and it cooks the egg beautifully as it warms up. take it out after the normal amount of time. Im so jealous of your egg-toastie virginity. enjoy

That sounds awesome. I'm having one of those for tea.

This may be the only time i have genuinely learnt something from the echo website

Purslow and Cortese may have known each other at CSFB as both were involved brokering finance deals for sporting businesses particularly football. Don't underestimate Katherinha Liebherr. She's one tough cookie and comes from a family with very strict criteria when it come to running businesses. I'm not surprised at her decision to take a more positive role with HER business and HER money. Her grandfather who founded the crane business philosophy was you don't spend money you haven't earned. Borrowing money was an anethma. Once the dust settles and we can see clearly I expect SFC to continue to progress.

HER business and HER money? Where does HER money come from? Typical neo liberal capitalist sheep.

Liverpool the most successful English club in Europe and with Man U the most famous are still in their old ground and struggle financially and nowhere near winning a title since they were sold. While a much less famous and less successful club down the road in Mancsville owned by trillionaires and likely to get second title in 3 years. I think we could do much better if we are looking for a football club estate agent as a club chairman

We're a lot closer to winning a title than anyone would have imagined at the start of the season. Still a long shot but with all the top teams still to come to Anfield you never know. Completely agree with your comment - Southamptons best chance of becoming a regular CL competitor is by being bought by a sugar daddy a la romans chelski the arabs man city etc. You will never command the global commercial appeal (and hence the revenue) of a club like Liverpool without 1. If the story about the chinese billionaire is true you should welcome him with open arms and hope he's in it for the long haul.

You should be wary of Purslow, he is not well regarded in Liverpool at all. He forced the greatest LFC manager of the modern era out of his job. Rafa spoke out against his employers because he was loyal to the fans and the people of Liverpool. theguardian.com/foot ball/2010/jun/25/raf ael-benitez-christai n-purslow-liverpool- exit
